Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

By: Lori Gottlieb

Narrated by: Brittany Pressley

Ever wonder what your therapist is really thinking? Now you can find out...a hilarious, thought-provoking and surprising new book that takes us behind the scenes of a therapist's world.

Meet Lori Gottlieb, an insightful and compassionate therapist whose clients present with all kinds of problems. There’s the struggling new parents; the older woman who feels she has nothing to live for; the self-destructive young alcoholic; and the terminally ill 35-year-old newlywed.

And there’s John, a narcissistic television producer, who frankly just seems to be a bit of a jerk. Over the course of a year, they all make progress. But Gottlieb is not just a therapist - she’s also a patient who's on a journey of her own.

Interspersed with the stories of her clients are her own therapy sessions, as Gottlieb goes in search of the hidden roots of a devastating and life-changing event.

Personal, revealing, funny and wise, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone opens a rare window onto a world that is most often bound by secrecy, offering an illuminating tour of a profoundly private process.

Self discovery

An amazing book with well written stories and deep relationships. So deep it is a reflection of one’s life. Love it

Excellent book about living in a healthy relationship with oneself

I enjoyed the jargon free narrative style of the book in the first person. The interjections in the story of snippets of theory was a strong way to create analogy.

Would recommend it every time- mostly enjoyed the easy listening

spectacular

I have read loads of personal development books and is one is amazing. I plan to read it again, probably a few times

Don’t listen to the last five or six chapters while driving!

I loved this book and all the characters in it. It was difficult to not form a connection with each of the characters in the book as you shared their journey through therapy. I found the last five or six chapters emotionally difficult to listen to and while driving the car to work experienced floods of tears as each characters story was brought to a conclusion. A satisfying listen that has left me questioning my life, my decisions, my stuckness in my situation. Great to listen to a book that makes you reflect on your circumstances and how different life could be if you could find the courage to take the required steps. Maybe I need to talk to someone!

Wonderful insights into your potential therapist

as a person who has been to therapy, this was such a fascinating deep dive into the mental terrain of my therapists. naturally everyone is different, but I loved the intimate sharing Lori did in this book. by the end, I felt like her friend.
